Condition:
It is in decent vintage condition, given its age. It does show some wear, including some on the edges, a few small rips, and some color fading here and there. We've tried to include photos of this issue, but if you'd like more or have questions, please let us know. Please note that the last two photos of the rug were taken on a different-colored floors (photos are from two different homes, we moved), and so the colors are still accurate in the photos.
Size:
Measures about 62 inches long and 39 inches wide.
